Best Natural Hair Products for Natural Girls
Most natural hair girls aka naturalistas, especially the sistas (hehe…) with stubborn and brittle 4C type hair, know that the simple act of running a comb through it is a proper STRUGGLE!
I hear the permed ladies whisper “so why do you put yourselves through the stress of 2 strand twists, bantu knots, silk scarves, breaking combs etc. Why don’t you just save yourselves undue pressure and relax those curls huh?”

5 Entrepreneurship Lessons Working In McDonald's
I want to start this article about 5 entrepreneurship lessons I gained working in Mcdonald’s with one of my favourite quotes by Steve Jobs “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
Sometimes you go through your journey in life and wonder of what use the experience is to your future.
It’s taking me a while to write this article, simply because I didn’t know how to put it in words and translate the journey to an experience that will encourage you. Sometimes we spend so long thinking about doing something and we never get around doing it. Some call it procrastination; I just call it pure laziness and excuses to not do.
I spent over 6 years in the UK for studies right after Secondary School in Nigeria. This is a really long story and as you may know I can talk for Africa, so I will try to keep it short and straight to the point. After spending a year supporting my aunty who I was living with at the time, she finally got me a job working with Mcdonalds (Brimsdown, Enfield London to be precise).

I know you've seen this quote one too many times, but I decided to share, because I woke up with this quote repeating itself over and over again in my head.
.
.
I've been meaning to do a couple of things for some time now, but majorly, the fear of how they could go wrong has been clouding my sense of judgement. I went to bed feeling really heavy last night and when I got up this morning, this was all I could think about. So I'm sharing this with you. Everything you need is on the other side of fear. It is called faith.

An essential part of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
Love is the Smell of Coffee - @happycoffeenigeria .❤Do you agree?
